People will still end up using email, irc, PMs on this forum, etc.

One of the things I was considering was creating a game on my server and doing "blind emails". Such as creating accounts for Man, Ulm, Ermor, etc on my server and watching the email traffic for violations such as setting up a way to converse outside of those emails. But it seemed more trouble than its worth.

Re: Tournament Proposal
 

Yeah, but you could conceivably prevent people from sending gems, etc. I'm not sure how much this would do to prevent people from forming alliances - okay, I'm sure it wouldn't prevent people from forming alliances. But, if you cannot trade magic items with your allies the benefit is considerably reduced.

Re: Tournament Proposal
 

I wonder if sending gems or equipment shows up in game logs. If it does then at least you would have a way of enforcing the rule.

Re: Tournament Proposal
 

I am new to Dom3 and have not done any MP yet. But I have been keeping my eye on this forum because I'd like to get into one of these PBEM games, I used to do them with Space Empires IV (lotsa diplomacy via email) and they were good fun. Maybe this tournament would be a bit much all at once for me to get started? Are the 3 games run in paralel ? How much time in between turns? I work during the week but can manage a turn a day (more so in the early game when turns are simple).

Re: Tournament Proposal
 

The three games will not run in parallel, but will probably overlap somewhat.

I'm planning on a host interval of 28 hrs (so every day, with a little wiggle room) once the game gets going, but this sort of thing is up for negotiation.

Certainly inexperienced players can play! Lest any of the veterans should grow complacent, you can take them down a notch! I'll try not to have more than 1 or 2 newbies in any given qualifying game, though.

Re: Tournament Proposal
 

My nation choices are attached here, as I did not see attached files as a PM option.

Re: Tournament Proposal
 

Sure I'd like to play

Re: Tournament Proposal
 

Yeah, okay, post your choices here - and delete the attachment as soon as it has been downloaded once.

--EDIT--

I already made my nation picks so just send them to me as a message and I'll have to trust myself not to change my mind.
